Animal Welfare Association South Jersey's oldest and largest animal shelter, low-cost pet clinic and much, much more! NOTE: Our Clinic and Adoption Center have different hours.

In our adoption program, we have dogs and puppies, cats and kittens, rabbits, guinea pigs and other small animals. We also have a pet clinic that allows us to further our mission to provide affordable, high-quality healthcare to pets in our community. You can

bring your pet in for routine exams, vaccines, spaying/neutering and more. For more information, please visit https://www.awanj.org/pet-clinic/

🌧️ April Showers Bring... May Kittens! 🐱🌸

You’ve heard of April showers bringing May flowers, but around here, they bring something even cuter—KITTENS! ☔🐾

That’s right, kitten season is upon us, and soon we’ll be up to our ears in tiny toe beans, squeaky meows, and floofy chaos! 😻 While they may not need umbrellas, these little ones DO need lots of supplies, foster homes, and love to help them grow big and strong.

💖 How You Can Help:
🍼 Donate kitten formula & supplies - https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1P6YX68G7K3PX
🏡 Sign up to be a foster hero - https://www.awanj.org/foster-a-pet/
💰 Chip in for vet care & food - https://give.awanj.org/KittenSeason2025

Let’s get ready to shower these kittens with love! 🌧️🐾

🐰🐱 Introducing the New "Bunnycat" Breed! 🐱🐰

Say hello to the Bunnycat—the most adorable new breed on the block! 🐾 These little furballs (featured in their foster home here) are guaranteed to bring the cuteness of a kitten with the fluffiness of a bunny. They love cuddles, treats, and yes, hopping around like little Easter bunnies. Just picture it: a kitten with bunny ears that can’t stop hopping right into your heart.

April Fools! But the need for foster homes is no joke! Kitten season is almost here, and we’re counting on YOU to help us care for these sweet little ones. Fostering is a rewarding way to make a big difference, and we need as many foster homes as possible!

Interested in fostering? Email our Foster Coordinator, Cole, at [email protected] for more info! Foster today—no bunny ears required! 🐰
